it's so easy in flex. I do sth similar in the add new variables - edit old
variables forms.
For your situation, you have to define an array of changing names(bindable if
needed), which will be loaded from the database when the application is loaded.
After it, in the label field of buttons etc, you will use e.g.
label="{changing[7]}" (changing is the array of your strings)
This will work 100% but will not be easy to be read during the development. To
handle this issue, you can define a new class (e.g. Traslator) and an instance
from it.(e.g tra) It will have a load function and public variables for all
action names (e.g. add_new) in your class.
your instance will load strings from the database on creation complete of the
applicatin; than for the buttons etc. you will user e.g label="{tra.add_new}"
... this will also work 100% and easier while reading your code...
i wish this helps...

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Dynamic text in buttons
Cool, that's great for languages, but we are also thinking about
when we create an application, which we sell to different clients and each one
of those may what to use different text. For example a button which says Add
New Member of Staff a client may want this to say Add New User. Ideally we
would just want to make a change in a database to change these kind of things
instead of recreating the entire application.

Have a look at resource bundles in the docs.
